Greetings!


Summer seemed to have breezed by! Kids are already heading back to school in the coming days (wait - didn't that used to happen after Labor Day?). Fogust seems to be arriving a few days early after the warm sunshine.


That reminds me, have you finished your game boards for the Summer Reading Program? Make sure to get them in by July 31st to enter the raffle for fun prizes. However, if you are running a bit behind we will still have free books & other items available for completing the program. Join the library later today for the finale event on Colton Hall lawn - a special performance by ZunZun.


Cheers to all of the students heading back to school! We look forward to supporting your educational success and lifelong learning. Learning never ends, and each year is just another chapter in a beautiful, wild & crazy story.



Warmly~

Brian
